GRE? Check!

Last week was long and pretty crazy, but I made it.  I feel like things went quite well.  On Tuesday I took the GRE.  It was long, and a bit nerve wracking.  When you take it, you get your scores back as soon as you finish (since it's a computerized test) and I am happy to report that I will not be taking it again!

Not really excited about any of this...  Always trying to remember that things could definitely be worse.  Like my dad would say 'Count your blessings, Meliss.'  I'm trying Dad.  I promise.

When someone who's practically your sister has a baby, that makes him practically your nephew, right?
